  3. There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. John 1:6-8 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10

  4. Our Vision “Create an open, inclusive and loving transition process – inspired by the Holy Spirit and bound firmly together in our faith and core values to Know, Grow and Go with Christ – so that the congregation and staff will feel confident and continue to be engaged in our mission as we build upon a solid foundation and history.”.
